That 892 Sqn commissioning clip brought back memories! The pilot of the Sea Venom, the late John 'Farmer' Steele, was a great family friend with a fine sense of humour. His description of the event was hilarious and he had visions of foam splattering the brass in their best sailor suits. Which didn't actually happen, of course.

As an ex-Vampire T11 CFS A1 QFI, he doubtless found the actual landing quite straightforward.
